No it doesn't I think that is why the army uses that color. As long as it not a high gloss color olive drab shouldnt show scrathes

Don't go with Dark Green. I've got a 2000 Runner SR5 in Green and I can see every inch of my real world pinstriping. Hummer's right on the botton about high gloss...any color will show scratches, it's a matter of gloss paint over a flat primer. I doubt your gonna find a rig in a flat coat though. White shouldn't show scratches as mush but you'll see every bit of dust and dirt. Try looking into silver or grey....best of both worlds?

Rattle can ultra flat Krylon Camo Khaki or OD Green - then it just doesn't matter what you do to it. I keep a can handy for "repairs"

No runs, no drips, no errors.....

White. Ran some narrow trails behind a green j**p, trashed his paint. Mine was fine and the runner is wider. Of course it was j**p paint too.
